• Check with the state's rules for parking violations as each state has its own parking ticket laws and certain methods to deal with the dispute parking tickets.

• The next thing you do is to call the phone number which is stated on the letter and verbally speak before you write the letter.

• You can ask for an administrative review if your phone investigator believes the parking ticket was not a mistake.

• Lastly you need to file the appeal and request for a hearing, even if the administrative review determines that the parking ticket was issued correctly and there were no mistakes involved.
